NCEA Level 3 Visual Art - Painting

Visual Art - Painting

Prerequisite: 16 credits Level 2 Art or at the discretion of HOD.

Students will research art-making traditions, and in-depth sequences of drawings that investigate, generate and use ideas for original paintings. They will produce a body of work within Painting to demonstrate understanding of art-making conventions. The work at this level is demanding and art shows extensive knowledge and skill. Digital-art techniques are becoming more prevalent within this subject. Therefore, students are encouraged to experiment and work within their area of interest and strength.

Students will learn some skills necessary to find employment in the field of commercial art, or to gain entry into recognised schools of Art.

Students may the opportunity to exhibit their work at the BC Senior Art Exhibition at The Incubator Gallery.
